The English forward impressed last season at Turf Moor, before signing for the Anfield outfit over the summer to bolster Brendan Rodgers’ options in the final third.

Ings was all set to be introduced from the bench in the dying minutes of the Merseysiders’ 1-0 win over Stoke at the Britannia Stadium last week, but saw his opportunity taken away from him as Rodgers changed his mind following Philippe Coutinho’s late goal.

With Liverpool set to host Bournemouth on Monday night, the gifted attacker will potentially get another chance to be introduced to the action for his new club.
